The Opportunity

We are seeking experienced General Practitioners to work for a national After Hours GP (AHGP) helpline. Our AHGP’s perform a vital role providing the delivery of after- hours GP telephone and video consultations from home for the general public. This includes the initial assessment, advice and management of symptomatic callers referred via our Nurse Triage service. The role operates within an approved scope of service and is required to adhere to various client contractual requirements in the delivery of this service including performance and efficiency metrics. The AHGP team also provides clinical support and guidance to their peers. 

This role has a direct reporting line to the Clinical Manager for operational, performance and resourcing concerns and reports indirectly to the Senior Executive Medical Director on clinical, education and quality issues. Working autonomously and from the comfort of your own home office, you have the confidence and proven ability to operate independently without immediate supervisory support. Performance achievement and development is primarily self-driven and managed within the scope of Medibank Health’s leading edge support technology, training and services, complemented by inclusion within our extensive network of medical professionals.
